The Central Traffic Association has finally
decided by a unanimous vote to make the
fare to St Louis for all attending the Ma
tional Encampment one cent q mile to and
from the Encampment This is equivalent
to one-third fare for the round trip. The
Central Traffic Association embraces sub
stantially all the roads between Buffalo and
Pittsburg and the Mississippi River. The
following are the principal roads in the AS
ISOLATION:
Baltimore & Ohio Zines west of Parkersburg).
Chicago & Atlantic, Chicago & Grand Trunk.

1t is expected that the roads of the West
ern AssociatiOn-embracing those west of
the Mississippi-will reduce their tolls to the
same rate, and that this action will be fol-
lowed by the roads east of the Allegany
Mountains.
This is the lowest rate ever made by the
roads for any great gathering, and it is ex-
pected that it will swell the attendance
enormously. 1t will make the railroad
fares for the hundreds of thousands of ex-
soldiers in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio so low
that practically everybody can afford to go
to st. Louis and meet his comrades. man
living within 500 miles of St Louis can go
and return for $40, and the great bulk of the
ex-soldiers in the Interior of the country
live within less than 500 miles of St Louis

THE PARKS OF ST. LOUIS.

Among the beauties of The Mound City"
the parks are conspicuous. Even Chicago
may well grow green with envy in contem-
plation of the broad acres of smooth sward,
gorgeous Aower-beds, and miles of shaded
walks.
The most beautiful, perhaps is Lafayette
Park, lying between Mississippi and Missouri
Avenues. Within its cool shadows stand
the noble bronze statue of Missouri's great
son and Senator, Thomas H. Benton, by
Harriet Hosmer, and one Of Washington. 1t
is for pedestrians only, and is elaborateIy
laid out in winding by-paths and lovers
hooks.
in point of extent the great park is "The
Forest" 1t embraces 81 acres of groves
drives, beautiful lakelets and Charming
promenades. The native forest trees still
standing give it its name. Among It's other
works Of art it has lile-size statue of Gov.
Edward Bates.
Hyde Park, too, has many attractions for
visitor, and is reached by practically all
the street-car lines of the city. 1t is Just
the place for an evening pipe on warm day
with Its shady settees and ripping lakes.
The Fair Grounds and Geological Car
dens have made ST. Louis famous. This is
a favorite resort for all classes, and affords
the visitor at one glance a panoramic study
of all the wonders OF animal life of the
world.
Then there is o'FaIlon Park, Shaw's Gar
den, Tower Grove and Lindell Park. each
adding its blessing of fresh air to the idler
or sightseer away from the hustle of the
great metropolis Of the Mississippi.
To see the wonders of the "Zoo,n TO stroll
through The Forest" or behold the flowers
at Shaw's," is worth journey TO st. Lonis.
Our comrades who go TO the great meeting in
September should not fail while there to do
the parks.

The people Of Chattanooga are very anx-
ious to have the National Encampment held
there next year, and will send strong dele
CATION to st. Louis to press their wishes.
There is host.of old soldiers settled in and
around Chattanooga, and they are the right
kind of comrades, too. The great prosperity
of that region is largely due to them-to
gallant, jealous soldiers, like Gen. Wilder,
who took fancy to the country while cam
paigning in it, and after they were discharged
made their homes there.

THERE is talk about draping the Posts
throughout the country in mourning for the
terrible and unprecedented mortality among
the old soldiers of Iowa. When the Ma
tional Veterans Union" Des MOines, pre-
sented their famous manifesto to the Presi-
dent, they said they represented 10000
veteran soldiers of Iowa" A week later,
when q careful count was made there were
but 81 found in the Association" and some
of these can hardly be called soldiers.

CoRP,L TANNER TO LECTURE

A circular from the Star Lyceum Bureau,
of New York, announces that they have at
length secured Corp1 Tanner, the distin-
guished veteran and orator, for the ensuing
lecture season. People are wanting him in
all parts of the country, and dates are
being rapidly booked. He has three differ
erent lectures, the first being Soldier Life
Grave and Cay" the second, "a Glance
at MormOnism," and the third, STANDARD
and Standard Bearers
To use the language of the street, the Star
Lyceum Bureau has "struck good thing"
Comrade Tanner will be q drawing card
everywhere. Comrado John Linehan, in
Johns own Incompatible way, once intro
duced him to an Encampment as having
"legs of wood, cheek of brass and tongue of
silver" There is no man in the whole coun-
try that old soldiers would rather listen to
than the brilliant orator who left his legs on
Virginia battlefield.

The "Deutsehe Kriegersbund" is the
name of the society that answers to the
GAR. in Germany. 1t is composed of men
who have served in the army in war, and
has about 100000 men on its rolls. It is
admirably organized, has full treasury, and
exerts powerful influence upon public
opinion. Recently there have been visits of
great numbers of the Order to the battle
fields of Alsaee-Lorraine, where they have
decorated the graves of their fallen comrades,
erected monuments, etc.

EX-PRISONERs OF WAR.

II has been decided to hold the annual
meeting Of the National Association of Union
Ex-Prisoners at Chicago Thursday and
Friday, Sept. % and %, which will give
all those in attendance an opportunity to go
on to st. Louis to the National Eneampment.
1t is earnestly hoped that there will be
large attendance. There are strong indica-
tions of this, for the interest among the ex-
prisoners has been greatly on the increase
during the year. There are more assOeia-
tions-many more than there ever were-and
each Of these has larger membership. If
ever anything can be done for the benefit of
those who suffered worse than death in the
rebel prisons it ought to be Planned out at the
coming meeting and carried through at the
next session of Congress. Let there be a
full and representative meeting, and wise
plan of action decided upon which will lead
to success. Several of the State Associa-
tions have already elected Delegates, and the
men they have selected are able and earnest
and much good is expected from their adj
vice. Let every Association in the country
be represented, and besides this it is desired
that every ex-prisoner who can conveniently
come to the meeting shall be present to meet
his old comrades and deliberate with them
rs to what is best to be done.
